I’ve had fond childhood memories crafting with Shrink Dinks. Not sure what it is? Take a look at my guest post for My Halal Kitchen and try it out with your munchkins. These are so easy to make and tons of fun. The possibilities are endless, too. You can make keychains, necklaces, or any other accessory out of this magical material.

Looking for ways to brighten up the home during this cold winter season? For a full tutorial on how to make these easy handpainted Cafe Planters check out my guest post on My Halal Kitchen. These also make lovely housewarming gifts. Who wouldn’t like some green in their home?

Last summer, I was given the great opportunity to write a short children’s story for Capture the Spirit of Ramadan. It was my love of colours which inspired this little story. Take a look and feel free to share!

I never thought I would be saying this ever but I was interviewed by Yvonne Maffei of My Halal Kitchen in January. It was a very exciting moment for me because I had been following her blog for over a year and loved everything about it! So, when I was contacted to conduct a giveaway and interview, I naturally seized the moment. It was a true honour and a great blessing.

Check it my interview here to read all about how I started my business and philosophy behind it.

Lapbooks are a wonderful way to teach your child about a theme or unit of studies. It’s quite popular with in the world of homeschooling and can be tons of fun to make with your kids. However, it doesn’t need to be limited to just homeschooling. Anyone can make one. So, I wrote a guest post for HafsaCreateson Space Lapbooks – give it a try! Below is a video I made (don’t mind all the awkward commentary…lol) to give you a look at what my munchkin and I created over the course of one month.

Try it out at home. For full instruction and links for all the printables, visit HafsaCreates. Get creative and explore any topic that interests your child. It makes a great project to work on over the weekends!

I’m tired of using the boxed pancake mix. Not only is it expensive, it’s also full of ingredients I don’t want my family consuming. So, I finally created a recipe which was just to my liking. Even if you switch all your ingredients to organic (and free-run eggs), it’ll still be a fraction of the cost of any boxed mix.

You can even do what I do – quadruple the recipe for the dry ingredients and store in an air-tight container. Whenever you feel for pancakes, just pull out 2 cups of the dry mix and add the wet ingredients listed in the recipe. It’s so convenient.
